What kind of rock is this?

[Wenoka]

I found this rock in a pile it was the one like it. I thought it was cool looking and would just like to know what kind of rock it is.

It is cool looking! I'm thinking it's banded chert. But the color seems a bit strange. Is it more brownish red than it looks in the pic?

It does have some brown lines and it looks like different shades of pink or reds

It's a freakin' cool rock...that's what it is! That would make some really cool points if you could get it into the hands of an experienced knapper. Nice find!

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Wenok! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) so if you ask a question, etc. - people may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...

2nd - I moved from Today's Finds! over to Forum: Rocks/Gems for more exposure.

Welcome and it's very nice. Probably a banded chert.

I reeeeallly want to say a bizarre form of chert but I just can't. Sure it's possible but the luster is too vitreous to be chert IMO - I'm with Gary, cullet glass.

Glass, indeed.
